Underworld Bailiff Jiang Zhuqing: Sent to the Mortal Realm in Atonement

A prisoner’s soul escaped from the underworld. To make matters worse, Jiang Zhuqing, the underworld constable in charge of guarding the river, had gotten drunk the night before. When he woke up, the prisoner was gone, his identity token had been stolen, and he was on his knees in the underworld court. Judge Cui gave him two choices. Accept his punishment. Or get lost and go to the mortal realm to catch the fugitive he’d let escape. Jiang Zhuqing chose the second option. He thought the job would be nothing more than tracking down a runaway soul and earning merit to make up for his mistake. But when he arrived in the mortal realm, he discovered... There were already underworld constables here. They had their own rules, their own territory, and even a way of doing things completely different from the underworld’s. And Jiang Zhuqing, the “official” underworld constable from the underworld, turned out to be the one everyone found most suspicious. Worse still, he gradually discovered that perhaps the prisoner hadn’t escaped on its own that night. Someone had entered the underworld. Someone had tampered with his wine. And someone had taken his identity token. The fugitive soul wasn’t the only thing Jiang Zhuqing wanted to catch.
